1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectivesTo develop and validate a radiological nomogram combining radiological and clinical characteristics for differentiating mycoplasma pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia with similar CT findings.

methodsA total of 100 cases of pneumonia patients receiving chest CT scan were retrospectively analyzed, including 60 patients with mycoplasma pneumonia and 40 patients with bacterial pneumonia. The patients were divided into the train set (

resultsA total of 396 texture features were extracted from each chest CT image, and 10 valuable features were screened out. In the radiomics model, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the train set is 0.877, 0.762, 0.821, 78.6%, and for the test set it is 0.810, 0.667, 0.750 and 70.0%, respectively. In the radiomics-clinical model, the AUC, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy for the train set is 0.905, 0.976, 0.714, 87.1%, and for the test set is is 0.847, 0.889, 0.667 and 80.0%, respectively. Decision curve analysis shows that both the two models increase the clinical benefits of the patients, and the radiomics-clinical model gains higher clinical benefits, compared to the radiomics model.

conclusionThe radiomics-clinical nomogram had good performance in identifying mycoplasma pneumonia and bacterial pneumonias, which would be helpful in clinical decision-making.
